The Mission Commands Of Christ, Herbert Manthey Zorn
The Mission Commands Of Christ, Herbert Manthey Zorn
Bachelor of Divinity
This paper places emphasis on the word "command." Its purpose is to explain what Christ meant when He said, "Go ye." The discussion deals chiefly with the five records of mission commands which the Savior issued after His resurrection and before His ascension to heaven. The problems of mission work and the various methods and approaches necessary to make that work efficient are beyond the scope of this paper.

Celtic Chrisitinaity A Survey Of Its History And Influence, Gerald Schaus
Celtic Chrisitinaity A Survey Of Its History And Influence, Gerald Schaus
Bachelor of Divinity
In the light of thorough research in this field by outstanding historians, it would be a rather serious admission of a lack of completeness of historical study to hold with the old view, namely, that nothing factual is known about Celtic Christianity! Now this paper makes no, pretensions of being a comp1ete coverage of the history of Celtic Christianity, for that is impossible to do in a work of this length. The purpose, rather, is to present an overall picture of the labors of the Celtic Christians and to compare the Celtic Church with the Church of Rome.
The History Of The Negro Church In Indianapolis, Sarah Parham Zeigler
The History Of The Negro Church In Indianapolis, Sarah Parham Zeigler
Graduate Thesis Collection
This attempt to collect material concerning the history of the organisation of the Negro church in Indianapolis, and to present it in thesis form, has as its primary purpose the preserving of such information as exists of this nature, assembling it in usable form, and the encouraging of further efforts at keeping church records completely and accurately in the future.
Confidential Statement From Hans Schwalm To Hans-Ernst Schneider And Wolfram Sievers On Objections To The Book "Norwegian History" By Martin Gerlach, October 17, 1942, Hans Schwalm
Norwegian Projects
In this confidential note, Schwalm discusses a book by German professor Martin Gerlach titled "Norwegian History". Ministerial Councilor Huhnhäuser had several objections to the book's content, with which Schwalm agrees upon a cursory review of the manuscript. The objections relate to the author's Christian perspective and lack of focus on pre-Christian pan-Germanic cultural heritage. It is noted that the book fills a missing gap, that of the German perspective on Norwegian history, and would therefore sell well and be considered the official position of German authorities, due to the regime's reputation for censorship. The letter concludes with a three point …
False Principia Cognoscendi In Theology, W. H. Dau
False Principia Cognoscendi In Theology, W. H. Dau
Concordia Theological Monthly
It is a fact, admitted also by scientists, that all theological knowledge, in the very nature of the case, must be derived from God Himself. It is a fact, furthermore, that God holds all who venture to speak for Him strictly to His Word when He declares: "To the Law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them." Is. 8:20. Lastly, it is a fact that God has issued a solemn warning by the first and the last writers of our Bible that no man shall dare …
The Church And Its Battle With Gnosticism, Luther Koepke
The Church And Its Battle With Gnosticism, Luther Koepke
Bachelor of Divinity
As we look at Gnosticism we find it a counterfeit of the true and Christ-founded Church. To the people living at the height of the Gnostic heresy this erroneous teaching and Christianity must have seemed similar. Similar terms, and similar concepts, but Gnosticism offering these by a different method. Gnosticism came in similar garb, offered like benefits, but gave soul-destroying results.
Foreword, W. Arndt
Foreword, W. Arndt
Concordia Theological Monthly
As one at the beginning of a new year views the religious scene, it cannot be denied that in the Lutheran Church more discussion of questions of doctrine and practice is taking place than has been witnessed in it for at least one, probably for more decades. The great issue is again whether the course of strict, uncompromising confessionalism which this journal and its chief ancestor, Lehre und Wehre, consistently sponsored from the very beginning is morally, that is, in the court of God and our own conscience, defensible, and not only defensible, but right, proper, just, and required. The …

Newspaper Article, "Dr. Crenshaw Says World War Useless"
Japanese American internment in Arkansas
The article discusses Dr. Crenshaw, a Presbyterian minister, who spoke to the Rotary Club in Dermott about his missionary work in China. He stated that China was mostly a Christian nation and that China would eventually win the war. Japan, on the other hand, is ruled by an Emperor who the Japanese see as a god.
Reason Or Revelation?, Th. Engelder
Reason Or Revelation?, Th. Engelder
Concordia Theological Monthly
Satan's paramour is the mistress of a thousand wiles. We cannot conclude this study of the evils of rationalism without studying the more subtle methods by which Satan would beguile us and lead us away from the truth of Christ and the certainty of His Word. If he cannot get us to falsify the Word, he will aim to keep us from applying the Word, from exercising our faith, from putting our sole reliance on the teaching of Scripture and the promise of the Gospel.
St. Paul On Social Relationships, Rthur Carl Piepkorn
St. Paul On Social Relationships, Rthur Carl Piepkorn
Concordia Theological Monthly
There are in visible Christendom two types of social theorists who derive small comfort from a study of St. Paul's letters. The first group comprises the extreme mystical individualists, who think of Christianity as being exclusively an individual escape from the wrath to come, while the second is composed of the social theorists, who insist that the Church's chief reason for existence is to prepare the nations of mankind for the establishment by God through the Church of "a home, in history and in the world, in which men shall be brothers in Christ under the paternal arch of [God's] …
Liberialism In Contrast To The Biblical Faith, William Grunow
Liberialism In Contrast To The Biblical Faith, William Grunow

This paper is a study of the doctrines of Liberalism. By being thoroughly familiar with these doctrines, the student will not be misled by the sheep’s clothing of orthodox phraseology which Liberalists often employ.

Fighting Liberalism With Blunted Weapons, Theo. Engelder
Fighting Liberalism With Blunted Weapons, Theo. Engelder
Concordia Theological Monthly
The Modernists will not like certain sections of this book. The Christian Century says: ''This is a great book, greatly written, and greatly needed. Liberal Christians will find it hard to believe this. They still have in their mouths the bad taste of A Christian Manifesto, which was hailed with glee by the foes of spiritual freedom.
Mental Hygiene And The Bible, H. D. Mensing
Mental Hygiene And The Bible, H. D. Mensing
Concordia Theological Monthly
Mental hygiene has been variously defined, depending upon the school represented or the scope intended. It is sometimes broadly conceived as including the cure of the •abnormal and diseased mind (psychiatry), as also the development and preservation of a healthy mind, an integrated personality. The stress, however, is always upon the prophylaxis, upon the prevention of maladjustment. "All mental hygiene is directed toward a happy and successful life in conformity with the dictates of personal and higher laws."
Gnosticism And Its Conflict With Christianity, Gerhardt Nitz
Gnosticism And Its Conflict With Christianity, Gerhardt Nitz
Bachelor of Divinity
The study of such a movement as Gnosticism is doubly important to the student of' theology. This is a phase of history which greatly influenced the church in its infancy. It has left marks upon the church which will never be erased. Moreover, a study of this heresy is essential for the proper understanding of the New Testament. Again, the influence of Gnosticism, as will be pointed out later continued for many centuries. Such a deeply rooted, powerful, paganistic tendency cannot be lightly passed by.
A Study To Determine A Workable Program For The Training Of Leaders For Service In The Church Of Christ In Siam, Newton Carl Elder
A Study To Determine A Workable Program For The Training Of Leaders For Service In The Church Of Christ In Siam, Newton Carl Elder
Honors Papers
"New occasions -beach new duties" but do not always make clear the course one should follow in performing those duties. It is necessary to stand off and view the situation in which one finds himself in order to disentangle the various threads that at close range seem to run hopelessly together. This thesis is an effort to clarify the situation in which the author has been placed by the members of the Siam Mission, but for which he has had little preparation either in training or experience.
Early in the year 1955, the author and his family were temporarily assigned …
What The Liberal Theologian Thinks Of Verbal Inspiration, Th. Engelder
What The Liberal Theologian Thinks Of Verbal Inspiration, Th. Engelder
Concordia Theological Monthly
This is what J. S. Whale thinks: ''The modem man is not impressed by the mere citation of texts; he rightly wants to understand them, in their context. His very certainty that the Scriptures are the fount of divine wisdom - that it is indeed the Word of God which is spoken to him in the words of the Bible - has set him free from the bondage of the letter, the prison-house of verbal infallibility. It is no use shilly-shallying here; loyalty to truth in the shape of literary and historical criticism forbids it.
A Comparison Of The Views Of Plato And Paul On The Immortality Of The Soul, Oswald C. Hoffmann
A Comparison Of The Views Of Plato And Paul On The Immortality Of The Soul, Oswald C. Hoffmann
Bachelor of Divinity
Of all the conflicts which Christianity passed through in the early stages of its history, that with philosophy seems to have been the most severe and the most far-reaching in its effects. Judaism was firm and self-reliant, because it was in a sense supernatural; Gentilism was pliable, because it was ignorant and weary of itself; but philosophy was obstinate, because, regarding religions as superstitions, it recognized no special merit in Christianity, and attempted to ridicule it out of existence when its unprepared defenders first announced it. With the representatives of the Epicurean, Stoic and New Academic schools, or with the …

Some Contacts Of The Book Of Acts With The Every-Day Life Of Its Age, H. A. Keinath
Concordia Theological Monthly
New Testament Christianity, first garbed in the swaddling-clothes of Semitism, soon exchanged its outward dress for the more practical robes of Hellenism. Jesus of Nazareth was active in a little speck of ground on the edge of the mighty Roman Empire; His language was Aramaic, His disciples were Jews, His contacts and the intellectual atmosphere of the men among whom He moved were chiefly Jewish. Yet within a few years after His resurrection Christianity had gone beyond the sphere of distinctly Jewish surroundings and had begun its mission of world conquest. This explosion immediately required an accommodation in the field …

The Christian Thought Of Doctor Toyohiko Kagawa And His Social Works And Movements, Eiichi Iimura
University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations
The world recognizes Toyohiko Kagawa as the St. Francis of Japan. His heart is one of pure love like that of St. Francis, but his battle has not been carried on by means of the sermon in a religious denomination. With a heart of love Kagawa has stood in the streets and would save the lives of the people. This is because he was born in 20th century Japan and not in Italy of the Middle Ages.
Fifteen hundred years after the fall of ancient Rome the world once more is about to undergo a mighty change. At this time …

The Theology And Psychology Of The Negroes' Religion Prior To 1860 As Shown Particularly In The Spirituals: A Thesis, Norman Gregg Long

In this thesis the writer has endeavored to treat the distinctive religion of the American Negroes so as to make evident, as far as he is able, the circumstances of its origin, its early development, the changes which have conditioned it, the theology in which it has been formulated, and the psychological motives which have been expressed in it. This study is made with the following specific objectives in view:
1. To study the Negro Spirituals as a body of musical literature in which the Negroes' religion prior to 1861 is embodied.
2. To point out the most outstanding features …

Handbooks for Bible classes that througl1out discredit the Bible have not been a rare offering of the publishers' tables of recent years. But here is a text-book for religious study classes which not only cuts doubt upon the veracity of Bible accounts, but which in detail is designed to eliminate the doctrine of Christianity from the consciousness of the new generation. And it is "approved by the Committee on Curriculum of the Board of Education of the Methodist Episcopal Church.''

Separation Of Church And State, Theo. Graebner
Concordia Theological Monthly
American low regarding churches as presented in Professor Zollmnnn's revised edition of American Civil Church Law (now republished under the title American Church. Law*) is a wonderful accomplishment of jurisprudence. While America has borrowed much of her law from England, it seems that Europe must build upon our pattern of church relations the laws which will govern religious societies when the antiquated system of established, or state, churches has been abolished.
The Modernistic Christ, Theo Graebner
The Modernistic Christ, Theo Graebner
Concordia Theological Monthly
The reader of modern theological literature sometimes happens upon a title which possesses significance, not on account of any intrinsic worth as a product of scholarship, but as a typical instance of modern thought regarding the nature of Christianity. From this point of view, Tittle's Jesus after Nineteen Centuries is worthy of more than passing comment. What a subject- the meaning of Jesus and the manifestation of His power in the world to-day! Proceeding from the glorious truth "Jesus the same yesterday and to-day and forever," what cannot be said of the power of the Gospel as manifested in the …
